Upcoming Trips

Let's face it, the HOC will probably never be quite motivated enough to keep this list up-to-date, but to get announcements of upcoming trips, subscribe to our low traffic mailing list. Trips listed on this calendar are always weather-permitting. Organizational details and opportunities to sign up will be sent over the list.
